higher barrier of entry = a higher % of the posts are made by intelligent people.
obviously it’s still massively outweighed by the stupid shit, I’m just saying I see it more than I saw it on reddit.

Absolutely the truth for most Fediverse platforms. It takes cognitive effort to join and get started.

Definitely gets the not being a raging transphobic cesspool over reddit.
FrowingFostek@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
It feels less toxic here, or maybe I give less of a shit. I also enjoy the fact that I don’t get ads.

Oh yes. No ads is nice!

- Moderation: choosing when to ban people or not, and acting on it promptly.
- Blocking people, since you can block communities (needed to use a 3rd party app to actually do this on reddit).
- Filtering out/organising porn, seperwting it from SFW content (Reddit tricks you into seeing porn all the time but lemmy holds it on seperate instances.)
- less addictive design
- comment formatting is made easy and seems to have more options.
- honestly has more soul and more polite interactions. Reddit is good in places but not consistently/overall.
- Doesn’t demand you install its app, browser is fine.

I wish I knew how to do the heart emoji …
Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 3 hours ago
Lemmy doesn’t have emoji reactions, you need to be on a piefed instance to do that

Pretty good at not being Reddit which is my number one reason for using it.

You’re not wrong.
sveltecider@lemmy.ca 9 hours ago
There’s tons of liberalism on here too but I guess you can expect that with it becoming more popular.

There’s like twelve different client apps for Lemmy, right?
I left Reddit when they broke my favorite client app. Seemed destined to go down hill from there.

Allowing me to post
Also fewer incels.
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
Still plenty of misogyny around unfortunately tho

Honestly, not much. It feels like Reddit Lite 10 years ago

Federate
pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 9 hours ago
Oh, here’s another. I’ve actually never had “the site” go down, since I moved here. Being federated, most of Lemmy is up, even when a single instance goes down.
My home instance went down once, so I just read along on another instance until it came back up.

Default comment sort. I stopped commenting on reddit because no one ever replied or voted, so I assume no one saw them. Here, there is more likelihood of interaction. I assume that’s because comments are sorted not by overall count by default.

There’s at least less astroturfing and AI posing as real people, if nothing else.

I wonder if there are safe guards to stop a bot army from impacting the discourse, or if it’s just because it’s a less known platform.
Deebster@infosec.pub 8 hours ago
I think any federated service is more vulnerable, because there’s no central oversight of e.g. IPs used to create accounts.
Even without any code, you could easily register accounts at the 20 largest instances and upvote yourself. I’m sure some people will have done just that.
workgood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 hours ago
there isnt. but no one cares about this place to infect it
inari@piefed.zip 7 hours ago
That’ll only hold true while the platform is not popular, unfortunately
Twinklebreeze@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
I don’t think the platform will ever be popular. Picking an instance is a big enough barrier to entry to stop most people.
